The selected stories in this volume are nothing more than insightful reflections of some of the people who have either fright- ened or amused us throughout our lifetimes. Each character in these stories will bring back to life some of the haunting memo- ries from the reader’s past and present imagination. You might even be able to identify with a few of the actors herein, since these stories were written with real life experiences in mind. Almost every subject matter and genre known to the craft of writing is touched upon in this collection, and the topics range from tragic love stories to themes of murder and fantasy. Several of the individuals in these plots are lucky enough to find true love and fortune in their lives, but many of these stories have ironic and original endings that will surprise and delight you. After taking classes in advanced written composition while in school, I soon became interested in someday becoming a writer and, even though my plans to be an ad man never materialized, I still, to this day, rewrite ads and jingles in my head and mentally rewrite everything I read.
